Rowan Kelly moved to the tiny town of Chartreuse, Alabama in hopes of starting anew. After a messy breakup that lingers over his head, and his heart, he believes he’s finally found the perfect place to open his clinic and do what he loves best; helping animals. Despite how picture perfect the quaint little town seems, the 26 year old feels like something is missing…..
Two lonesome hearts will have a chance encounter in a town that doesn’t seem to be ready for the acceptance of love equality, but will it stop them from being together?

T.E. Ridener entered the world in the magnificent year of 1985. She's an avid reader, crazy writer, and photoshop addict. She started writing stories at a young age, and will probably do so until she takes her last breath. Forever the daydreamer, not a day passes in which Miss Ridener isn't working on something book related. Her books may be a work of fiction, but there is a lot of truth in each one.

Creating relatable characters and believable storylines mixed in with make-believe is what she is best known for. She always includes a strong female lead, a compassionate male, and tons of every day events that readers will be able to connect with. Miss Ridener is a lover of music, movies, TV shows, and her family.

During the months of November and December, she participates in the charity she helped create called Random Acts of Christmas, an online program geared towards making Christmas happen for families in need. In 2013, they gave over $69,000 in gifts to kids who otherwise would not have had presents to open on Christmas morning. Coming from a childhood of poverty, T.E. understands that life isn't always easy and she has experienced living from paycheck to paycheck. This has fueled her drive to always lend a helping hand in every form possible. She is very active in the group "Books for Troops", a program designed to send ebooks and paperbacks to soldiers currently serving overseas.

T.E. Ridener is the youngest of 3 children, a surviving twin, and an extremely proud aunt. She claims to be married to her books and the characters she creates are her kids. Thus far, she has produced three ongoing series entitled Blood Betrayal (vampires), The Kadenburg Shifters Series (bear-shifters), and The Descendants (elementals). There are loads more and new ones popping up each day. She LOVES her fans and readers, and not a single one of them appear as a number to her. She knows that without them, she wouldn't be where she is today. Every day is a new possibility, a new adventure, and a new dream. Life doesn't get any better than that.

Lady Isabelle Pennington has been put off men for life. Married off by her family to an abusive man 35 years her senior, she is now widowed and virtually penniless. His debauched lifestyle and treatment of her has left her deeply scarred and vowing that never again will she allow other people to run her life.

Guy Montford has had one wife walk out on him and has no wish to enter the matrimonial stakes again. But when he and Isabelle are thrown together, he begins to see through her cold exterior and finds himself becoming obsessed by her aloof beauty despite himself.

To begin with Isabelle wants nothing to do with this imposing Duke who has dragged her into his life, but then to her shock she realises that he does not repulse her as her first husband had done. Indeed for the first time ever, she actually starts to enjoy the exquisite sensations he arouses in her.

Two damaged people intent on maintaining their independence. But both turn out to be highly passionate - and once passion flares it can be difficult to control!

She took a deep breath. ‘I have been married once before as you know, and I found the act of making love – a ridiculous description if ever there was one – the most abhorrent and disgusting of activities I have ever had to endure. There is no pleasure to be had from witnessing men become like animals as they indulge their carnal appetites; neither is there pleasure in the pain their unleashed passions inflict upon their unfortunate partners. I have no intention of sharing your bed – or anyone else’s I can assure you - and unless you can accept that condition in this marriage, then I regret the only alternative would be to seek an annulment.’

Her face was a deep flush of red by the time she had finished - in total contrast to the whiteness of Guy’s. For the first time in his life he truly did not know what to say. He stared at her in absolute astonishment until, grasping her handkerchief, she rose quickly to her feet and stumbled from the room.

I’m a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde really - respectable crime/romantic suspense author by day and closet steamy romance writer by night! Both under different names of course - I couldn’t possibly let my children (and more importantly their spouses) see what I get up to between the covers. I’ve always loved writing and started off with M&B type romances in my twenties and early thirties, progressing to women’s fiction with a bit more bite after that. But I always loved the romance and in particular writing the sexy scenes, and so Claire Firth was born!

I live in Cambridgeshire, UK and seem to spend most of my time trying to successfully juggle my life - and failing pathetically. It’s a writer’s lot I think to be disorganised - that’s what I tell my husband anyway (who is completely the opposite to me). This lack of organisational skills does have one advantage however - it’s meant that I’ve become something of an expert at Crisis Management - mostly from personal experience as I lurch from one crisis to the next. I can’t ever imagine not writing - I write any time and any place - and when I’m not physically writing, I’m away with the fairies in my head, plotting. It’s a great life and I wouldn’t swap it for anything!

Unlike some other boxed sets, this one will ALWAYS be priced at just 99 cents. This isn't a short-term promo sale that will disappear, this is a PERMANENT hot deal! Over 165,000 words of reading pleasure for less than a buck!

Joanna, a nurse at Covington Community Hospital falls for the new surgeon, Dr. Wilkinson. Joanna’s colleague Shirley has her eyes set on Dr. Wilkinson, too. The romantic rival lands Joanna in sticky situations. The hospital’s new stud and first male nurse Billy falls for the shy, virginal nurse Dana. Each book in the VITAL SIGNS trilogy is based on characters that work together at Covington Community Hospital in rural North Carolina and in its big-city rival hospital, University Hospital in Raleigh, NC. Hot surgeons, hotter nurses, secret pregnancies, backstabbing exes, high-drama divorce battles, and lots of jockeying for power and position at a small-town hospital. GRAY'S ANATOMY meets DALLAS! Alpha males and sultry heroines galore.

What makes one man so hated by everyone?

This is a sexy read, and also covers some difficult taboo subjects with delicacy and honesty. If you like to read a book with your heart racing, that gets you jumping out of the chair in shock, that makes you laugh, and cry, then this is the read for you.

It is an intelligent, fast paced, book that draws you in, and doesn’t let you go until you sit panting and can’t remember what day it is. It makes a super beach bonkbuster, with a cover that people won’t realise hides a real raunchy adventure.

It was going to be a one off, but so far all the reviewers have asked, (no, demanded) a prequel AND a sequel and so Viveca is busy writing those currently.

Buy The Book

The eBook is being launched on Amazon (Worldwide), and Barnes & Noble on 14th May 2014 to coincide with Viveca’s birthday. Apple and other retailers will be coming soon. And it will soon be released in Print format & Audio.
